Our story

At 21, an MS diagnosis inspired Amy to create a place to belong.

MS Together began after our founder, Amy, was diagnosed with MS just after her 21st birthday. She couldn’t find a space where young people could connect with others going through the same experience, so she created one.

Being diagnosed at a young age can feel overwhelming and isolating. Questions about the future, your health and your identity all arrive at once.

Young people living with MS deserve a place where they can connect with others their age who understand what they’re going through - support that reflects real life, not just your diagnosis.
